He used 8 eggs and one pint of milk, them cooked them in four muffin tins. I know that it is over forty years since I left Yorkshire but 8 eggs? ..... Hi, It was supposed to be a poor mans so the family didn't need so much meet. Now I am unable to cook, my husband makes some of the best Yorkshire Puddings using two Eggs but occasionally three if there are more of us. 8 Eggs must have risen through the roof.
